Excellent Patient-Provider Communication May Mitigate Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Diabetes Care Management Among Cancer Survivors

While excellent PPC was associated with improved screening among Hispanic and Asian survivors, it was associated with lower odds of diabetes management among Non-Hispanic Black survivors. These findings suggest additional systemic factors may contribute to the inverse association observed for Black cancer survivors.
